Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995
(1) Basis of Presentation
(a) Corporate Organization
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Debbie Reynolds Hotel & Casino, Inc., formerly Halter
Venture Corporation (Halter) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Debbie
Reynolds Management Company, Inc., formerly Debbie Reynolds Hotel &
Casino, Inc. (DRMC) and Debbie Reynolds Resorts, Inc. (DRRI)
(collectively the Companies). The December 31, 1995 balance sheet data
was derived from audited financial statements of Debbie Reynolds Hotel
& Casino, Inc., but does not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. Users of financial
information provided for interim periods should refer to the annual
financial information and footnotes contained in the Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB when reviewing the interim financial results presented
herein. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
financial statements are prepared in accordance with the instructions
on Form 10-QSB and contain all material adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
Company for the respective interim periods presented. The current
period results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results
which ultimately will be reported for the full year ending December
31, 1996.
(b) Description of Business
The Company's operations consist primarily of the hotel operations of
DRMC and the timeshare operations of Debbie Reynolds Resorts, Inc.
("DRRI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRMC. DRMC owns and operates
the Debbie Reynolds Hotel & Casino (the "Hotel"), a gift shop, the
Hollywood Motion Picture Museum, a restaurant and bar and a showroom
located on Convention Center Drive in Las Vegas, Nevada. DRMC leased
the restaurant to Celebrity Restaurants, Inc., a company wholly-owned
by Ms. Reynolds, until August 1, 1996 at which time DRMC was granted a
liquor license from Clark County and commenced operating the bar and
the restaurant. Until the Company received approval for its own liquor
license, Celebrity accommodated the Company by undertaking and
operating the restaurant and bar under its liquor license. The
Company's operations, through DRRI, also consist of the sale of
timeshare units in the Debbie Reynolds Hotel. DRRI obtained a
permanent timeshare license on June 28, 1994. In addition, DRMC and
its management have pending applications filed for a gaming license
from the Nevada gaming authorities; however, there can be no assurance
that such license will be granted. Due to the Company's poor capital
structure and acting on the advice of counsel, the Company requested
the Nevada Gaming Authorities to place a hold on processing its
pending gaming applications until its capital structure substantially
improves. Prior to March 31, 1996, the Company

leased space to a third party for the operation of a casino. The
Company served the operator with a termination notice in February 1996
pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement, because the Company was
losing money on a monthly basis. The Company requested Jackpot to
cease operations as of June 30, 1996. On March 31, 1996 the operator
discontinued its gaming operations on the property, removed all of its
gaming equipment and subsequently filed a lawsuit against DRHC. [See
Item 3 - Legal Proceedings]
On October 30, 1996 the Company entered into an Agreement for Purchase
and Sale with ILX Incorporated ("ILX") under which ILX will purchase
the Debbie Reynolds Hotel & Casino (the "Hotel"), including all of the
Hotel's real and personal property and the Hotel's timeshare
operations (the "ILX Agreement"). ILX is a publicly-held corporation
based in Phoenix Arizona which principally owns, operates and markets
resort properties in Arizona, Florida, Indiana and Mexico. The
purchase price for the Hotel is $16,800,000, which will consist of
3,750,000 "free-trading" shares of ILX common stock valued for
purposes of the transaction at $2.00 per share, $4,200,000 in cash and
$5,100,000 in assumption of mortgage indebtedness. The market value of
ILX's common stock has recently been substantially less than $2.00 per
share. When the market value of ILX's common stock reduces so does the
negotiated purchase price. Under the ILX agreement, immediately after
the closing, ILX has agreed to lease certain of the hotel facilities
to Debbie Reynolds and /or a designee (the "Hotel Facilities Lease").
The Hotel Facilities Lease is expected to be for a term of 99 years,
with a monthly lease payment to be determined. Although the ILX
Agreement specifies monthly payments of approximately $150,000, it is
unlikely the Lease would be profitable at that rate and there is no
guarantee that ILX will agree to an acceptable lower figure. The Hotel
Facilities Lease is expected to include the showroom, the museum, the
gift shop, the vacant casino space, the back bar and certain joint
areas. In addition, in consideration for use of her name and likeness,
and associated goodwill and other services, Debbie Reynolds will
receive a percentage of the net profit of any timeshare project at the
Hotel pursuant to a Timeshare Profit Agreement. Ms. Reynolds will also
participate in future activities of the Hotel and other ILX business
activities, pursuant to the Debbie Reynolds Participation Agreement.
As a condition precedent to the sale, ILX has requested Debbie
Reynolds to enter into an agreement with Red Rock Collection
Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of ILX. Subsequently, Ms.
Reynolds and Todd Fisher have entered into agreements with Red Rock
Collections Incorporated. The sale of the Hotel to ILX is subject to
the approval of the Company's shareholders, a standard due diligence
investigation by ILX, receipt of any necessary governmental approvals,
and satisfaction of various other conditions. The Company anticipates
that the closing will occur early in the second quarter of 1997;
however, there can be no assurance that the closing will occur.
The Company's recurring losses from operations, its working capital
deficiency, its shareholders equity deficiency, its significant debt
service obligations and its default with respect to various agreements
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing to
finance its working capital deficit

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements, Continued
until such time as cash flows from operations are sufficient to
finance the Company's operations, including the Company's proposed
casino operations. If the sale under the ILX Agreement is not
consummated, the Company may need to seek protection under the Federal
bankruptcy laws. In order for the Company to continue to operate until
the sale under the ILX Agreement is consummated, the Company has
obtained a $1,100,000 loan as interim financing which will be used
primarily to fund its operations and to pay off certain defaulted
indebtedness.
Debbie Reynolds and Raymax Productions, LTD, ("Raymax"), a corporation
wholly-owned by Ms. Reynolds, terminated their services agreement with
the Company in November 1996 due to the Company's default under the
agreement. Raymax has agreed to render showroom and other services on
an "at will" basis, terminable anytime. In addition, in November 1996
Ms. Reynolds terminated her License Agreement with the Company with
respect to her Hollywood memorabilia collection and her name and
likeness due to the Company's defaults. Also, Hollywood Motion Picture
and Television Museum, a non-profit organization, has terminated its
License Agreement with the Company with respect to its Hollywood
memorabilia collection due to the Company's defaults, effective
January 1997.
The Company's principal executive offices are located at 305
Convention Center Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 and its telephone
number is (702) 734-0711.
(2) Capital Stock Transactions
See (Item 2) Management's Discussion and Analysis, (2) Liquidity and
Capital Resources, for additional discussions of the Company's capital
stock transactions.
(3) Contingencies
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions. In the opinion
of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters has been evaluated
and those claims considered probable and estimable have been accrued for.
As of March 31, 1996 the Company has accrued $450,000 for these claims.
See Part II (Other Information), Item 1 (Legal Proceedings) for lawsuits
filed against the Company.

PART I. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
(1) Overview
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Debbie Reynolds Hotel & Casino, Inc. (the Company), formerly Halter Venture
Corporation (Halter) and its present wholly-owned subsidiaries, Debbie
Reynolds Management Company, Inc., formerly Debbie Reynolds Hotel & Casino,
Inc. (DRMC) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Debbie Reynolds Resorts, Inc.
(DRRI). The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the
historical operations of DRMC and DRRI.
(2) Liquidity and Capital Resources
In February 1995, the Company obtained a $525,000 loan from Bennett, the
proceeds of which were principally used in the construction of the museum
and for general corporate purposes. The loan bears interest at 13% and is
due and payable March 22, 1997. The loan is secured by the Company's real
and personal property.
In May 1995, the Company obtained a $340,000 loan from Bennett, the
proceeds of which were principally used for general corporate purposes. The
loan bears interest at 13% and is due and payable March 22, 1997. The loan
is secured by the Company's real and personal property.
In August 1995, the Company obtained a $2,865,000 loan from Bennett Funding
International, LTD., the proceeds of which were principally used to pay off
existing debt and for general corporate purposes, which includes the
$340,000 advanced to the Company in May of 1995 and $525,000 advanced in
February of 1995. The loan bears interest at 14% and is due August 23,
1999. The loan is secured by the Company's real and personal property. Ms.
Reynolds has personally guaranteed this loan. As of January 1997, this loan
is in due to non-payment of interest.
Commencing in December 1995, the Company obtained additional financing
through a Regulation D offering under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act"). The Company sold 200,000 units, consisting of 200,000 shares of the
Company's common stock and 200,000 warrants to purchase one share of common
stock at $1.00, totalling net proceeds of approximately $182,000. The
offering of shares was directed solely to persons who met the definition of
"Accredited Investor" set forth in rule 501(A) of Regulation D promulgated
under the Act. The Company offered a maximum of 3,000,000 Units, (the
"Unit"), each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one warrant
to purchase one share of common stock at $1.00 per share. As of December
31, 1995 the Company sold $50,000 pursuant to the offering and in the first
quarter 1996 the remaining $150,000 was sold.
In May 1996, the Company offered all holders of the Company's units issued
pursuant to the Company's private placement memorandum dated March 25, 1994
the opportunity to convert the Series AA Preferred Stock and Debentures
constituting part of the units into restricted shares of the Company's
common stock. Each Series AA Preferred Stock and Debenture converted into
one share of the Company's common stock at the reduced conversion prices of
$1.10. The total dollar amount converted from Series AA Preferred Stock and
Debentures was $884,000 which converted into 803,636 shares of the
Company's common stock. As additional consideration, the Company reduced
the conversion price for each Series AA Preferred Stock and Debenture
issued pursuant to the Private Placement Memorandum dated November 17, 1994
to $2.25. As additional

consideration to the Company, the unit holders waived the past due interest
and dividend payments owed.
In August 1996, the Company obtained a $500,000 loan from Gregory Orman, an
independent third party, the proceeds of which were principally used to
reduce past due tax obligations, reduce trade payable debt and also allowed
the Company to engage its auditors. The loan bears interest at 12% and has
$550,000 principal balance due November 1, 1996. This loan is secured with
a forth mortgage and with certain of the Company's receivables. In
connection with the financing the Company granted Orman warrants to acquire
260,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $.70
per share. On October 18, 1996, Orman agreed to extend the maturity date to
February 1, 1997. In consideration for the extension the Company reduced
Orman's exercise price on the warrants to acquire 260,000 shares of the
Company's common stock from $.70 per share to $.22 per share. In addition,
Debbie Reynolds and Todd Fisher have personally guaranteed this loan.
In February 1997, the Company obtained a $1,100,000 loan from Galt Capital,
an affiliate of Gregory Orman, an independent third party, the proceeds of
which were principally used to payoff the second mortgage that was in
default, reduce past due tax obligations, reduce trade payable debt and
will be used as interim financing to fund the Company's operations until
the sale under the ILX Agreement is consummated. The loan bears interest at
12% and has $1,100,000 principal balance due June 5, 1997. This loan is
secured pursuant to an assignment of TPM Holding, Inc. second Deed of
trust, Loan Agreement and Promissory Note dated December 1994 and is
secured by a $573,000 first deed of trust placed against real property
owned by Selden Enterprises, ("Selden"), an affiliate of Ms. Reynolds and
Todd Fisher. In addition, Debbie Reynolds and Todd Fisher have personally
guaranteed this loan. The Company will issue Selden 500,000 shares of its
common stock as consideration for allowing the deed of trust to be placed
on its real property. The Company will also issue Ms. Reynolds 500,000
shares of its common stock in consideration of her personal guarantee and
in consideration of numerous past uncompensated guarantees provided by Ms.
Reynolds as well as Ms. Reynolds continued efforts on behalf of the
Company. In connection with the financing the Company granted Orman three
year warrants to acquire up to two percent (2%) of the Company's fully
diluted common stock, currently the warrants represent approximately
260,000 shares, at an exercise price of $.22 per share. The warrants are
anti-dilutive for a period of eighteen months.
As of January 1997, the Company is currently in default under the following
obligations: the Bennett Management & Development ("BMD") mortgage is in
default due to non-payment of interest and the holder has the right to
accelerate the mortgage immediately and make demand on the entire
outstanding principal balance; the BMD mortgage had a principal balance of
approximately $2,115,000 plus accrued interest outstanding at March 31,
1996; the Bennett Funding International, Ltd. ("BFI") mortgage is in
default due to non-payment of interest and the holder has the right to
accelerate the mortgage immediately and make demand on the entire
outstanding principal balance; the BFI mortgage had a principal balance of
approximately $2,865,000 plus accrued interest outstanding at March 31,
1996; and the Company is in default on its unsecured subordinated
debentures due to non-payment of monthly interest, the holders have the
right to accelerate immediately and make demand on the entire outstanding
principal balance.
On October 30, 1996 the Company entered into an Agreement for Purchase and
Sale with ILX Incorporated ("ILX") under which ILX will purchase the Debbie
Reynolds Hotel & Casino (the "Hotel"), including all of the Hotel's real
and personal property and the Hotel's timeshare operations (the "ILX
Agreement"). The sale of the Hotel to ILX is subject to the approval of the
Company's shareholders, a standard due diligence investigation by ILX,
receipt of any necessary
================================================================================

Part II. Other Information, Continued
governmental approvals, and satisfaction of various other conditions. The
Company anticipates that the closing will occur early in the second quarter
of 1997; however, there can be no assurance that the closing will occur.
(See Part I - Note 1 (b) for a more complete description of the ILX
Agreement).
The Company's recurring losses from operations, its working capital
deficiency, its' shareholders equity deficiency, its significant debt
service obligations and its default with respect to various agreements
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing to finance its
working capital deficit until such time as cash flows from operations are
sufficient to finance the Company's operations, including the Company's
proposed casino operations. If the sale under the ILX Agreement is not
consummated, the Company may need to seek protection under the Federal
bankruptcy laws.
The Company had a working capital deficiency of $11,368,000 at March 31,
1996, compared with a working capital deficiency of $10,059,000 at December
31, 1995, an increase of $1,309,000. This increase is attributable to the
Company continuing to incur a substantial operating loss during the first
quarter of 1996.
(3) Revenues
Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 totaled $1,886,000 as
compared to $2,498,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, representing
an 24% decrease for 1996. This decrease is attributable, in large part, to
the decrease of $773,000 in timeshare sales for the quarter ended March 31,
1996 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995. The decrease in
timeshare revenue for the first quarter of 1996 can be attributed to the
restructuring of the timeshare sales operation. Showroom revenues for the
period ending March 31, 1996 totaled $189,000 as compared to $485,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995. The decrease in showroom revenue for the
first quarter of 1996 can be attributed to the showroom featuring other
shows instead of Ms. Reynolds' show.
The loss from operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 1996 totaled
$1,099,000 as compared to a $1,048,000 loss for the first quarter 1995.
Timeshare sales during the first quarter of 1996 were not sufficient to
generate substantial profits due to the seasonality of the business and the
restructuring of the sales operation. Additionally, the Company incurred
considerable showroom operating expenses which resulted in the showroom
generating a loss of $262,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The net
loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 totaled $1,437,000 as compared to
$1,423,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
(4) Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased from $375,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1995 to $338,000 for three months ended March 31, 1996 as a result of
the conversion of various debt into equity and the repayment of other debt
through timeshare sales.
